But, Phil, if more tests were run they might show the same results shown in
the infamous Bose Experiment.  Now, while that wouldn't really <PROVE>
anything (because you can never prove that no one can hear a difference
under any conditions) it would sure put a crimp in the style of those who
want to believe there are differences.  It's much better to pursue a
red herring,especially if it allows one to defame another good product.
That's two good products one can defame (Bose and Sony). And it's a lot more
fun.
Now what I would like to hear is a no holds barred, flat out AB of a
Sony CDP-101 vs a Sony CDP-102.  This would pit a mfr against himself.
It would be 16 bit 41khz sampling vs 16 bit double sampling with low
phase shift filters. I'd like to hear this on a good system (but not
a Bose to spare us the same old flames).
I will volunteer the CDP-101 and a pretty fair system (*) if someone has
a CDP-102 in the area around Holmdel, N.J. and wants to AB.
(*) Pioneer 9800, AR-9's - a fair system but one which one golden ear
told me could "never give vinyl a chance." 
I would be delighted with either a positive or negative result.
